A view from Mexico on U.S. gun control

[Art Eatman]

50mm machine gun? At 25.4 mm per inch, that's a Big, Big Barrett!

I don't think it's something I'd ever put my shoulder against...

You cant stop the free market.

End the war on drugs, give people the right to keep and bear arms in Mexico.

September 15, 1847: Mexico City surrenders to American forces.

We should have annexed the whole bloody country as spoils of war, but noooo.

*sigh*

"It's logical that illegal arms enter from the United States because the United States is an enormous market for guns," said security specialist Jorge Chabat, who works at the Center for Economic Teaching and Research. "It is easy to get the guns there and it is very easy to cross the border with them."

"It's a problem that goes back years," he added. "In diplomatic reunions, the Mexican government constantly complains to the United States about the arms trafficking and says the U.S. government should do more to prevent it."

News Flash!
Mexico calls for a closed border with U.S.!

Mexico needs a revolution.

Too bad mexico, I feel the same way towards illegal imagration. Kiss off and deal with YOUR problem. #@%^ing whiners.

Well, even though the Soviets and Cubans dumped tens of millions of ak-47s, and other weapons of all types into central America to destabilize and create communist governments, those couldn't have gotten into Mexico, right?

That's called "Ignoring the plank in one's own eye." The US armed as many or more thugs in Central America as anyone.

Mexico needs a revolution.

Won't happen as long as the social pressure bleeds off into the US. Fox owes Bush big time for saving his lilly white keester.

This is all bull????. The only guns routinely smuggled OUT of the US are pistols. Everything else can be bought from the crooked militaries of all of these countries. Most of the illegal full auto in this country is smuggled from Mexico. Eg- the LA bank robbers used a mexican govt issue FAL.

Ironically the US does not actually have a proliferation of military hardware at the moment because the existing gun culture is well fed through existing channels.

The Mexicans should ask their own military where they are getting these guns from.

+1x10^6 on that one LawDog. Maybe we still should, since SOOO MANY of Mexico's citizens wanna come to the US.

 

[SIGarmed]

Lies and more lies. These socialists will stoop to any level to blame America first. Corrupt sellouts, lack of morals, and integrity is what hurts Mexico. Maybe if the Mexican governemnt at all levels tried doing something honest for a change things would work for the better.

The article acknowledges the obvious. Guns go south and drugs and people go north. Who wrote this, Captain Obvious?
